Thrifty Treasures and Basement Sale Steals at Domestic Bliss

​All fans of great design long to findDomestic Bliss, and a boutique in downtown Mesa has just the solution.

As its name implies, Domestic Bliss carries whimsical clothing and rustic decor for well-to-do women and children. Its neighboring by-appointment showroom, FOUND, carries slightly more eccentric decor and furniture (think Anthropologie's home section, in neutral-vision).

It's all quite expensive, with most furniture pieces hovering in the hundreds and decor accessories not far behind. But once a month, something magical happens to this real-life Real Simple spread: a two-day basement sale and flea market.

While the prices are far from Goodwill (especially on furniture), the sale offers some great steals on vintage and modern decor. Hang on to your secondhand hats -- we're going bargain-hunting.
